In general, every country has two choices when it comes to involving women in politics; they can either encourage women's participation in politics or implement policies requiring parties and parliament to have a certain proportion of women in elected office (Stokes, 2005: 78). The second option requires the party to adopt the gender quota system, that is, a certain number of seats reserved for women (Stokes, 2005: 77). Since quotas were adopted and disseminated across countries, the proportion of women in national legislative assemblies increased between 1975 and 1995 (Caul; 2001: 1214). This shows that the adoption of quota policies facilitated the entry of women into politics. However, the path to the adoption of quota policies has been influenced by several factors: political and societal (Caul; 2001), as well as party culture and characteristics (Stokes 2005, chapter 1). The reason behind the use of quota policies is that the more women are present in legislative politics, the more likely they are to influence policy (Lyn: 1994: 560). Lyn Kathlene examines the presence and behaviors of women in statewide legislative committee hearings in Colorado to test their contribution to policymaking and debates. The question this article seeks to answer is whether or not women can influence policymaking once in power, as advocates hoped? We will see that to a certain extent it is possible to observe the impact of women in the decision-making process. Although other pressures such as cultural and negative conversation dynamics between men and women are present, this does not decrease the rate of women's participation in the political decision-making process. Instead, he exposes the negative response ...... middle of paper ...... on issues that directly affect them, such as family problems. Their presence in the national Parliament means that they have been elected by the population, that they not only act on behalf of all women, but that they also sit on these hearing committees as delegates of those who have elected. The reasons for their interventions are based on their ability to position themselves as a woman but also as an elected official. Being present at the hearing debates shows that their presence is aligned with their ability to influence policy, regardless of the times they are interrupted. The behavior of men towards women exposes a reality more linked to their characters and their behavior. The results we examined show no link between men's behaviors towards women in debates that discourage them from participating and expressing their opinions in debates..
